Analysis on Anti-dumping of China's Foreign Trade Abstract: After Chinese entry into WTO, China will constantly increase its export volume, especially to developed countries. This will cause more anti-dumping not only because the policy of trade protectionism but also which special anti-dumping regime against China, that is China has been labeled a "non-market economy" by this countries. This regime was introduced in April 1998 by the European Council with Council Regulation (EC) No 905/98 and gives individual Chinese enterprises the opportunity to claim, on a case-by-case basis, that they operate in market economy conditions in accordance with five specific criteria set by the Commission. In fact, this special regime of EU is still violating the current conditions of China and to the detriment of Chinese enterprises. In an anti-dumping action against Chinese lighters, the European Federation of Lighter Manufacturers that launched the action withdrew its charges shortly after EU officials verified the domestic cost of Chinese lighter makers. As global economy stagnates, anti-dumping actions are often launched at the request of local companies seeking to reduce pressure from low-priced Chinese imports. The EU local companies will also launched more anti-dumping cases against China. In addition, China agreed to be treated as a non-market economy in dumping cases for another 15 years to gain entry into the WTO. The concession did give the developed countries a handle to invoke the analogue measure. So it is very important and urgent to study the anti-dumping law, especially the issue of Non-Market Economy (NME) in anti-dumping against China and Chinese enterprises responding measures.
